Gemma was quite vocal about her crush on handsome Jon during the last series, even sending him a dirty text during the masquerade Halloween ball that read: “I want to f**k you with your mask on.”

While Jon doesn’t reckon he’ll be getting together with Gemma this series, he does admit he’s been eyeing up a few female cast members, although stays quiet on just who he fancies.

“I think I’m going to have an eventful series. There’s a lot I want to do, and there’s a few people I might want to pursue…” he teased.

Jon - who previously tried to woo Chloe Sims on the show - also said his main wish this series is to “find a girl and fall in love.”

He’s always been a total romantic; while appearing on Love Island two years ago, he proposed to girlfriend of five weeks Hannah Elizabeth in the finale. She happily accepted but they split once the cameras stopped rolling.

While his romance with Hannah Elizabeth didn’t last and he’s yet to have a longstanding relationship on TOWIE, he still offered some words of wisdom about what it takes for TV romance to survive.

"You have to be a team. If you don’t work together then it will never work. People will always try to pick it apart, but if you are a strong couple you can flick away the advances of someone trying to disrupt your relationship," he said.

"My motto is health is wealth," he added. "I want to focus on myself and my physique and make myself a better person."
